Myles Garrett out for Browns vs. Falcons with Injuries Sustained in Car Crash
Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett won't play Sunday due to injuries he suffered in a car crash earlier this week.
The Browns announced their All-Pro edge-rusher has been ruled out against the Atlanta Falcons.
On Monday, Sept. 25, Garrett was involved in a single-car accident that left him with numerous non-life-threatening injuries.
The 26-year-old suffered numerous ailments, including shoulder and biceps strains. The Browns provided more information and noted that his availability for his team's Sunday, Oct. 2 game against the Falcons would be evaluated by team doctors.
Despite keeping their options open for most of the week, the Browns didn't have Garrett practice the past three days. He is officially listed on the injury report with shoulder and biceps injuries.
Garrett is in his sixth season with the Cleveland Browns. The three-time Pro Bowler and two-time first-team All-Pro has amassed 61.5 career sacks, including three this year.
Cleveland's defensive line could be without two key starters on Sunday. Jadeveon Clowney didn't practice all week due to an ankle injury, but he's listed as questionable.
Garrett and Clowney have combined for 4.5 of the team's seven sacks through three games. Garrett is the only player on the Browns defense with more than two quarterback hits (five).
The Browns will look to improve their record to 3-1 without Garrett if they can defeat Atlanta in Week 4.
